JAMSHEDPUR: An inter-school quiz competition in which 12 city schools took part ended with hosts DBMS English School winning the prize defeating its nearest rival Rajendra Vidyalaya on Monday.

The 22nd edition of the Inter School Seuli Seal Memorial Quiz Contest saw all the participating schools fighting the battle of nerves. However, petty mistakes and confusion marred the prospects of several schools which had to leave the competition in the preliminary round.

Quiz master N Mohan, head, IT services, Tata Steel, and management trainee Sikha Singh conducted the event testing each of the contestant's knowledge on a wide array of subjects.

"The competition was not easy as the contestants had to put in a lot of effort and pressure on their brain to reach the top spot," said a contestant.

The competition organized to develop the knowledge power of the children and also to kindle a competitive spirit among them summed up an absolute competitive atmosphere with young minds, equipped with fighting spirit, focused and ready to take on each question thrown at them by the panel.

But at the end, the host school won the coveted prize earning 95 points whereas Rajendra Vidyalaya had to be content with the runners-up trophy with 85 points. Gulmohar School came third with 60 points. DBMS School organizes the competition every year in the fond memory of one of its bright student, Seuli, who died on March 3, 1989.

"Its delighting to acknowledge the win (of DBMS) but the competition was more about promoting knowledge power among the students and we look forward to greater participation in our future editions," said a senior faculty of the host school who was instrumental in the successful conduct of the annual quiz contest.
